What Parmesan Cheese Do They Use At East Sides



Hell-o! This time (delayed due to rumba and cha cha cha modem) Senor Tonto tosses you a pair of reports, all devoted to animation on-line ...

CHUCK THAT'S FOLKS!
few days ago has unfortunately passed away due to a heart attack Chuck Jones , total genius in the history of animation. In many of the Warner cartoons infused shock of frantic screwball humor, narrative rhythms are altered, and retro graphics and its brain cells from his hand and saw the light, for example, the French skunk Pepe Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote, the animated version of the Grinch by Dr. Seuss, the hairy mostrone Gossammer and whimsical singing Michigan J. Frog Frog.
The last project ever turns out to be Chuck Jones "Timber Wolf" , cardboard on-line (opened in autumn 2001) designed for the site of the Warner and he realized with the help of specialists in web-toons Atomic Cartoons. The protagonist of the series is in fact Thomas T. Wolf, lupastro unfortunate and eternally haunted by the trees that fall for him every time he utters his middle name, or the Timber "Caaadeee" of American foresters. The last wolf of Chuck Jones is dragged into the woods in his life as a situation comedy, led by a rogue squirrel Earl Squirrell (his voice is that of Nancy Cartwright, the actress who in america has even Bart Simpson), the Rose and Scarlet scoiattolessa Mock apprentice Loopy and other animals. Timber Wolf is quite fun, the good old days at Warner with slapstick gags and adorable stupidity au go-go, however, are far away. Honor, however, Chuck!
To learn more about the great animator can you get her two splendid autobiographies "Chuck Amuck" and "Chuck Reducks" or trace the Italian recent book "The Cinema of Chuck Jones' (published by The Beaver and care Michele Fadda and Fabrizio Liberti).

TROMA IN A COMA
The crazy brains Troma , A production company famous for the horror movies now on the verge of bloody dementia, have also thrown headlong into the realm of cartoons on-line with a handful of raw (and it's a euphemism) in the series official website of the company . It is not the first time that the nightmares of Troma are animated: the early '90s, the hero par excellence, Troma, The Toxic Avenger (a nerd who is transformed by some toxic waste in a fetid zombie super hero) arrives inexplicably in the television schedules, in a rereading of course suitable for children in the fashion of the period (the inglorious "ninja turtle was"), with short series "The Toxic Crusaders" . Bleach!

eatin 'MUFFIN FILMS
I muffins and pastries are of order in the States, often vaguely chemical because of the many preparations (Betty Crocker in mind, never forget the blueberries in the bag summary prepared by me). The young animator Amy Winfrey has designed for his thesis during the UCLA Animation Workshop, a concept of 12 animations entirely focused on the muffins. The site "Muffin Films offers an entire pan of naive humor and cartoons featuring a stylized graphics muffins with ghosts, trees, muffins, muffins unidentified flying existential drama, stop-motion and other bakery found almost ... all rather delicious, unlike the real treats.

QUISPY SPUMCO
The Spumco John Kricfalusi, fierce defender of cartoons in flash for advertising on the Internet, produced as a spot online for cereals Quispe animated adventure with the same name Martian mascot, now tenaciously venerated by nostalgic baby-boomers of the '60s! Will our hero to avoid a meteorite ruin your breakfast a lovely little family Yankees? Of course, you'll have ... and I also order a box of Quispe to the remarkable figure of $ 9 (they are only online, not in supermarkets).

RUST BOY, AHOY!
"Rust Boy" is a work in progress by Brian Taylor, is a computer animated movie made in a style linked to the three-dimensional stop-motion and traditional debtor certainly lessons Tim Burton and Jan Svankmayer . Some fragments of the project are visible in the site (for Quicktime friendly computers) along with storyboards, sketches and various sketches.

3 OBSESSIONS ANIMATE, 3 private obsessions
The cartoons that in my miserable life I was intrigued and inspired are Tantini (various mangaggini not included, sorry!), But lately I am obsessed three in particular. The first is the sixties and focuses on QT Hush ("Private Eye") strange little man that round ends meet as a detective in absurd cases Shamus ("Private Nose"), his hound dog by the shrill voice; absolute gem of cartoons were smashing sound bizarre and the long shadow of the little detective, hidden in a Waterproof and always provided with a fat cigar, stood out by taking their own lives and investigated independently. Then there Gerald Mc Boing Boing , children (invented by the mad Dr. Seuss) of the fabulous cartoon stylized Robert Cannon of UPA for its innovative: he did not speak and could only communicate by emitting noises, then become famous and appreciated as sound source for the special effects of a western radio show. Last cartoon me gusta much is the dark and surreal "Norman Normal" Alex Lovy, Warner Bros. signed the 1968 experiment where the eponymous protagonist (tormented by a rock band that plays constantly in the lead) is participating in a dream of his party office where he discusses with a colleague from the head covered by a thick shade. And what are your obsessions animated most curious? Svelatemelo and issued a report on this very weblog.

Hello and see you soon!

The people of telematics is quickly arose: Some fans have now created a website with all updates appropriate and have launched several online petitions (subscribe courage ... the busiest ). The Planet Express will fly on our TV?

METROPOLIS, ILLINOIS
Birth of a tourist trap: Founded in 1839, Metropolis, Illinois, being the only American town of that name in the list of U.S. zip codes, is transformed in the early '70s in the city's official Superman, of course more for tourism than for pride comics. In the super-village the Kryptonian hero, in the form of a statue bronze colored fifteen feet high, oversees the building's main square, a museum celebrates 60 years of abundant character and the local Chamber of Commerce distributes gift packages to children full of kryptonite. Before that hackers hired Lex Luthor from the gate, visit of Metropolis, Illinois .

Hola! The week is over and a new electronic reporting and barbecue internett delights awaits you ... strength, put on your bib ...

"MOTHER ONLY FLY FOR YOU MY KNIFE ..."
A lot of dust was raised by the recent "scandal" caused by a kind of parody of Erika, the Lizzie Borden of Novi Ligure, included in this month's issue of Alan Ford : most of the newspapers calling for the scandal, many readers and readers are horrified, Max Bunker / Luciano Secchi appeals to the freedom of satire and almost already talking about comics with the public burning of the TNT Group! Mah!? Certainly something we've already seen! Who knows where the real bad taste? The Republic On-Line, to clarify things to those who missed the event, pointing his big toe in an article (or dele-term average, according to me) exhibition in a gallery a targeted selection of cartoons offending . Have a good inquisition!

ALEKSANDAR Zograf, "interview with" E "INTERVIEW"
Two sites Italians speak of Sasa Rakezic / Zograf Aleksandar, Serbian cartoonist extraordinaire and observer of dreams. Clorofilla.it offers a brief interview where our answers to questions about the NATO bombing in Serbia, the true magic of the comic, on Crumb and his future projects. The site houses a stimulating Granbaol.org interview Zograf Mack White, author of Texas strongly inspired by the unusual mix of cowboys, conspiracies, aliens, greek mythology, Roman and dreams.

"BEE" NICE, MR. LITTLE!
Bee is usually a member of the so-called Generation X (or Y may now already), and disenchanted curious girl who lives the loop of a playful post-adolescence roam in the neighborhood of Manhattan and working in a photo lab where he sneaks the negatives that the curious more (almost like in that video-clip of scrausi Offsprings, but I do not remember the title of the song). The Bee's daily adventures, always marked by photographic fragments of other people's lives that lead to investigation of noir mysteries in the Big Apple, are recounted in a homonymous strip on-line color created by Jason Little, a young cartoonist (born in 1970 ) with a penchant for some graphic experiments stereoscopic some time ago had already made out for the good comic book Jack's Luck Runs Out published by Top Shelf Productions . Well, so do read the comix that the radiators on a computer monitor is not comfortable ... still try to force yourself and peek into the rather nice site Beekeeper Cartoon Amusements ... or at least wait until the collection volume for the publisher Doubleday due next autumn.

My children ... hours away! Some friends, two pretzels and pretzel anthropomorphic and mustached Alsatian , waiting for me for a crazy dance to the tune of Midi Twist and Shout! See you in a week! Bau Bye!
your human pretzel,

Oh, watchers of monitors ... Henry (or if you prefer ... I prefer Senor Tonto) greets you and starts with this inaugural post to point out, sailed with dementia, pills are new, interesting materials or situations ... let's start bandidos ...

COMIC IN YOUR DREAMS COMPUTER!
Comics and dreams have always been an exciting blend, excellent and well-known examples of the genre are Little Nemo and Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend by Winsor McCay , hypnagogic visions of Zograf or recent comics dream of Rick Veitch . A couple of days Electronic ago I discovered an author who in the pot and I did not know that Jesse Reklaw, new narrator's comic adventures dream really lived. On its website Slow Wave contain a great many strips based on his dreams and those told by his friends or visitors of the site. Anyone can work together ... just send via e-mail a description of a bizarre dream and some indication of the appearance of actors (or better yet a picture). Jesse has illustrated several books on the interpretation of dreams, his cartoons have appeared in newspapers and magazines psychological and has recently self-produced Dreamtoons, book collecting his comics dream. The last strip on-line tells of zombies addicted to the Campbell's soup.
